Hello,
I would like to have a custom universal .pfprofile that is optimized for GreyPhoto printing on a Baryta paper.
Printer = Epson SC-P600 with good non-OEM ink.
Is B&W-optimization at profile level possible ? Is the proces to create a testchart the same as for color ?

Yes, this is possible. In our profile creation service, we also offer to create profiles optimized for grayscale printing. When printing the profile chart in PrintFab Toolbox, please select "Black & white profile (color chart optimized for grayscale)" - this will print a color chart with more patches that are almost neutral grey (see screeenshot).

Sorry, I've got my stupid head on here today...
I'm just evaluating with Ubuntu kde and very impressed. I use non stock inks on third party papers. Id like to print both colour and B&W.
this will be for photography, and although only for family, friends and my walls, I would like the highest quality i can muster.
Should I print two charts out for yourselves, both the studio and the B&W?
Would make more sense to me but think its best to double check

Hello, if you print both color and b&w photos, I recommend to print both the "Proof / Studio" and the "Black & White profile" chart. Please note that you need two profile order codes for the two profile measurements. Depending on the PrintFab license, one profile measurement may be included in the license purchase, another profile measurement code can be purchased in our online shop (EUR 19.95):
